As I've said before, any Cayenne or Macan or Boxster is fine in my book. They saved the company.
I probably despise the 996 more than I despise a Cayenne.
Make a 944? Now it's called the Cayman (in pricing and its place in the model line) and to me it kicks butt.
Like Adam said above, there's myriad things that Porsche did. Not to mention Porsche Design - and they have done everything.
There you go...
